27. I. 03.

Dear comrade! I have received all your materials. Regarding publication I cannot answer immediately and about everything, since I will be reviewing it already for № 33. It will go as a feuilleton

"The Murder of Sipyagin in the Provinces." The letter from a worker from your wife has also been received.

Thank you very much.

I shake your hand.

Your Lenin
